I just got an fj edwards #5 and I'm searching youtube for almost the identical problem... did you find a solution?? My nut just seems jammed on there and almost like the split nut threads are half broken off inside the ram. I mean it works so I'm not going to really crank on it till I know I can get a replacement screw.
I've now sold it but I ended up making a split washer in 2 halves that I sleeved around the gap & then welded it shut so it soaked up the majority of the gap.
